But by doing so, we also distract ourselves from what matters most. And as our minds subconsciously dwell on these things, we try to distract ourselves to numb the tension we feel. We get caught up in our own heads, and literally don’t know our lives to be any better than the few things that aren’t going our way.

That's certainly true. The videos aren't particularly slick but Ryan is cute as a button. "I’m entertaining and I’m funny," he said. Maybe? But Ryan, whose family won't reveal his last name, said in an NBC interview his personality is key. Actually, there must be more to his success than that.
